졸졸
When you hear the word "졸졸" (joljol), think of the sound of water. It's an adverb that describes the sound of water gently flowing or trickling. Imagine a small stream, a faucet dripping slowly, or water gurgling softly.
You can use "졸졸" to talk about these quiet, continuous water sounds. It’s like the English words "gurgle" or "trickle" but specifically for sounds.
You might hear this sound effect, 졸졸, when you’re near a small stream or watching water pour slowly from a bottle. It’s an onomatopoeic word, meaning it imitates the sound it describes. Think of a gentle, continuous trickling sound – that’s 졸졸.
It’s specifically used for water moving in a light, soft, and continuous way, often in small quantities or at a low flow. So, if you’re describing a tiny brook or a kettle gently boiling, 졸졸 is the perfect word to bring that sound to life.

§ What '졸졸' Means and How to Use It
Alright, let's talk about the Korean word 졸졸. This is an interesting one because it's an adverb that paints a picture with sound. Think of it as a 'mimetic' word, meaning it imitates a sound. Specifically, 졸졸 describes the sound and movement of water. It's that gentle, continuous sound of water flowing or trickling, like a small stream, a faucet dripping slowly, or even a baby's babbling.
- DEFINITION
- Gurgling, trickling (water) (mimetic).
When do people use it? You'll hear 졸졸 a lot when describing natural scenes involving water. Imagine a quiet forest with a small brook, that sound? That's 졸졸. It brings to mind something gentle, consistent, and often quite pleasant. It's not a roaring river or a crashing waterfall; it's much softer.
Let's look at some examples to make this clearer. Pay attention to the kind of sentences where 졸졸 fits perfectly.
시냇물이 졸졸 흐르고 있다. (The stream is trickling/gurgling.)
수도꼭지에서 물이 졸졸 새고 있어요. (Water is trickling from the faucet.)
아기가 엄마 뒤를 졸졸 따라다녔다. (The baby followed mom around like a little stream/always.)
As you can see, 졸졸 is quite versatile for describing this particular kind of flow. It adds a nice touch of imagery and sound to your Korean sentences. Remember, it's not just about the sound, but also the gentle, continuous movement that accompanies it. When you hear or read 졸졸, picture that small, steady flow of water, and you've got it.
§ Understanding 졸졸's Specific Meaning
The biggest mistake learners make with 졸졸 is using it too broadly. While it describes the sound and movement of water, it's very specific. It's for a light, continuous flow, not just any water sound.
- Incorrect Usage Example
- 큰 강물이 졸졸 흘러간다. (A big river flows gurgling.)
- Why it's wrong
- A big river doesn't usually make a '졸졸' sound. This word describes a small, gentle flow.
§ Not Just Any Liquid
Another common error is applying 졸졸 to liquids other than water. While it's about a trickling sound, it's almost exclusively used for water. You wouldn't use it for, say, oil or soda.
- Incorrect Usage Example
- 병에서 기름이 졸졸 흘러나왔다. (Oil trickled out of the bottle.)
- Why it's wrong
- While oil can trickle, 졸졸 specifically evokes the sound and visual of water. For other liquids, different descriptive words would be more appropriate.
§ Misunderstanding the Adverbial Role
졸졸 is an adverb, which means it modifies verbs. It describes how something happens. Learners sometimes try to use it as a noun or adjective, which isn't correct.
- Incorrect Usage Example
- 졸졸 물 소리 (gurgling water sound)
- Why it's wrong
- While the meaning is understood, grammatically, 졸졸 should modify a verb. A more natural way to express this would be '물이 졸졸 흐르는 소리' (the sound of water flowing gurgling).
Instead, always pair 졸졸 with verbs like 흐르다 (to flow) or 떨어지다 (to drop/fall).
계곡물이 졸졸 흐른다.
The valley water gurgles (flows).
수도꼭지에서 물이 졸졸 떨어진다.
Water trickles from the faucet.
§ Overuse or Inappropriate Context
Like many mimetic words, 졸졸 is powerful when used correctly, but can sound unnatural if overused or used in formal contexts where a simpler description would suffice. It's often found in descriptive writing or casual conversation.
- Incorrect Usage Example
- 연구 보고서에는 물이 졸졸 흐르는 현상에 대해 기술했다. (The research report described the phenomenon of water flowing gurgling.)
- Why it's wrong
- Formal documents typically avoid such onomatopoeic or mimetic words for precise scientific descriptions.
Le savais-tu ?
Many Korean mimetic words are reduplicated, meaning the sound or action is repeated for emphasis or to describe a continuous state. '졸졸' is a perfect example of this!

Comment l'utiliser
졸졸 is a mimetic adverb, meaning it imitates a sound. It describes the sound of water gurgling or trickling in a small, continuous stream. Think of a small brook, a leaky faucet, or a pet drinking water.
A common mistake is using 졸졸 for large bodies of water or strong currents. It specifically refers to small, gentle trickling sounds. For a louder, more forceful gurgle, you might use an adverb like 콸콸.
Astuces
Hear the Sound
The word '졸졸' (jol-jol) is an onomatopoeic adverb. It sounds like the gentle gurgling or trickling of water. Imagine a small stream or a leaky faucet. That's the sound '졸졸' describes.
Focus on Small Water Movement
'졸졸' specifically refers to small amounts of water moving or flowing. You wouldn't use it for a raging river, but rather for a tiny brook or water dripping steadily.
Common Verb Partners
You'll often find '졸졸' paired with verbs like '흐르다' (heu-reu-da) meaning 'to flow', or '떨어지다' (tteol-eo-ji-da) meaning 'to drop'. For example, '물이 졸졸 흐르다' (mul-i jol-jol heu-reu-da) means 'the water gurgles/trickles'.
Adverb Placement
As an adverb, '졸졸' usually comes before the verb it modifies. Just like in English, adverbs describe how an action is done.
Repetition for Emphasis
The repetition of '졸' (jol) in '졸졸' is common in Korean onomatopoeia and intensifies the sound. It's like saying 'drip-drip' instead of just 'drip' to emphasize the continuous sound.
Visualizing the Action
When you hear or read '졸졸', try to visualize the gentle, continuous movement of water. This visual aid will help you remember its meaning more effectively.
Practice with Sentences
Create your own simple sentences using '졸졸'. For example: '수도꼭지에서 물이 졸졸 떨어져요.' (The water is trickling from the faucet.) This helps solidify your understanding.
Distinguish from Similar Sounds
Korean has many mimetic words. Be careful not to confuse '졸졸' with words describing other sounds, like '콸콸' (kwal-kwal) for water flowing forcefully. '졸졸' is always gentle.
Listen to Native Speakers
The best way to truly grasp the nuance of '졸졸' is to listen to native Korean speakers using it in context. Pay attention to how they pronounce it and the situations in which they use it.
Mémorise-le
Moyen mnémotechnique
Imagine a 'jolly' little stream 'jolling' along, making a 'joll-joll' sound as it gurgles.
Association visuelle
Picture a tiny, happy stream with clear water flowing, making soft 'joll-joll' sounds as it trickles over pebbles.
